Cancelling a client’s membership subscription

Cancelling as a Client

Your clients can easily cancel their membership from within the Clovo app at any time. When this happens, the membership will remain active until the end of the current billing period and no longer renew.

When a client cancels their membership in the application you will receive a notification according to your notification preferences and the membership will show as ‘Active, won’t renew’ in Clovo.

Cancelling as Studio Admin

Sometimes you will need to cancel a client’s membership yourself:

Cancel from Clovo Studio

To cancel from Clovo Studio, login with your staff account and then:

  1. Find the Client whose membership needs cancelling
  2. From the client’s profile screen, find the membership under the ‘Plans’ tab
  3. Click ‘Cancel’
  4. Confirm the cancellation on the screen that appears

That’s it, your clients membership will be cancelled at the end of their current billing period.

Schedules in Clovo

Schedules are created in Clovo Studio and represent the typical week of class offerings at your studio.

When you create a schedule, you create a set of classes offered at a time on a day. For example, you might have a Beginner Reformer Pilates class every Monday at 4pm and Advanced Reformer Pilates classes at 6am every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Clovo takes your schedule combined with the ‘scheduled days ahead’ setting for your studio (defaults to 14 days) and generates a series of ‘openings’ for your classes.

Openings can be booked by your clients according to the capacity of the class and the allowances on their membership.

Clovo will create new openings using your schedule every single day so that you always have exactly the number of ‘scheduled days ahead’ that you specify, for example, 14.

Start accepting payment with Stripe

With Clovo, you own and control your own Stripe account. Leaving you in full control of your payments and payouts.

Shortly after signing up to Clovo, we’ll review and approve your account for payment integration. Once you’ve been approved we’ll then step you through the process of onboarding a standard Stripe account from within Clovo Studio.

When you onboard with Stripe through Clovo, we pre-fill some of your basic account information, and Stripe will ask you for more of the sensitive stuff like bank details and business structure.

The entire process from start to finish will take around 30 – 45 minutes, by the end of which, you’ll be able to start accepting payments through the apps.

Before starting the Stripe onboarding process we recommend having details such as ABN and bank account details handy.

To get started:

  1. Login to Clovo Studio
  2. From the sidebar navigation, select ‘Settings’ or click this link
  3. Under the ‘General’ tab you’ll see the ‘Stripe’ section, tap the ‘Onboard with Stripe’ button
  4. You’ll be taken to Stripe to setup your standard Stripe account with them
  5. When you’re done setting up your Stripe account you’ll be directed back to Clovo

That’s it – you’re done. You can now instruct your clients to start purchasing your services through your apps.

Changing class schedules with existing openings

Once you’ve setup your schedule and set your ‘schedule days ahead’ setting in Clovo Studio, Clovo will continuously open classes for booking according to that schedule and the number of days ahead you have specified.

For example, if you have a Beginner Reformer Pilates class every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 6am and you’ve kept your ‘schedule days ahead’ setting at the default of 14 days, Clovo will make sure that there is an opening for each of those days at 6am available for your clients to book 14 days ahead from the current day.

You can change your schedule at any time by editing it in Clovo Studio. If you’re adding new class times then there’s nothing else to do. However if you are changing or removing existing classes, because there will be openings that have already been created in the future, you will need to decide what to do with them.

1. Do nothing

The original openings will stay in place, but won’t be regenerated if you removed them from the schedule, or will be generated on a new date and time if you changed them. For most studios this will likely be the ideal course of action as it will require no booking cancellations and will give you enough time to communicate the upcoming schedule change to your clients.

2. Cancel the existing openings

If you no longer wish to service the openings you’ve already generated, then simply cancel each of those openings in Clovo Studio.

To cancel the existing openings

  1. Go to the ‘Upcoming Classes’ screen
  2. Find the openings that correspond to the schedule change you’ve made
  3. Click into the opening
  4. Click ‘Cancel’
  5. Click ‘Confirm’ on the confirmation screen that shows. If there are existing bookings, your clients will be notified of the cancellation and their credit pack or membership will be credited accordingly.
